House Sitting Ellison

“Elisa took care of my 8 month-old kitten, and I would have no reservations about booking with her again! Elisa sent updates, including pictures, multiple times per day. She obviously took care of my apartment, as everything was in very good condition when I i got home. She even washed the sheets! My kitten was happy, her litter box, food, and water were all taken care of. Thank you so much Elisa for providing care and peace of mind!”

“Kirsten took exceptional care of our two dogs while we were away, and I am so grateful we found her!!!!!! Our 10-year-old senior dachshund has significant anxiety and has only ever stayed with one trusted sitter since she was a puppy. Leaving her with someone new was a huge step for us. Not only did our senior girl eat all of her meals while we were away, but she was relaxed, comfortable, and even slept with Kirsten- something she has never done with anyone she didn't trust. Our seven-month-old rescue puppy is still learning all the basics, including leash walking and building confidence outside the home. Kirsten was patient and wonderful with her, and our puppy did great during her walks and daily training routine. The greatest compliment I can give is that I felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs in Kirsten's care. It was clear they felt safe, loved, and well cared for. We came home to happy, settled dogs, which means everything to us.They are my baby’s and I can’t remember a time I left and felt this way. Thank you, Kirsten, for taking such wonderful care of our girls. We would happily trust you with them again.”

“Trinity was wonderful to have looking after our cats! She made the effort for an initial visit to meet them which made us very comfortable. We received pictures of them out and about, which was so nice to see! She messaged with any questions and kept us up to date on their eating as they require a little more attention than most. Can’t wait to hire her again!”

“Albina was so sweet with my dog, Joey. She watched him for a few hours in the evening. He had a short walk and some playtime, and she was the perfect company for him. We received plenty of updates that helped put our minds at ease. I would definitely have Albina look after Joey again!”

“Bella was incredible with my cat. When I got back home after a 10 day trip my house was spotless and kitty was calm and happy. She was great at communicating throughout. Will definitely be booking her again!”

About: Cats have been a part of my life since I was seven years old, when my mom surprised me with my first kitten, and my love for them has only grown since then. I have more than 20 years of experience caring for cats, including fostering with the Okanagan Humane Society, in-home pet sitting, and fostering cats who ultimately became part of my family. I currently share my home with three former foster cats. I have a naturally calm and patient demeanour, and I often find that shy, nervous, or less-social cats will gravitate toward me. I take the time to get to know each cat’s personality, routine, and individual needs rather than expecting them to all behave the same way. I’m also comfortable providing hands-on care, including nail trims, bathing, and administering medication when needed. When a cat stays with me, my goal is to provide a safe, calm, loving environment where they can feel comfortable, respected, and cared for while their family is away. I am currently in the process of changing careers and am not working full-time, which allows me to make pet care a meaningful part of my daily routine. I have the time and flexibility to provide cats with consistent attention, companionship, and individualized care throughout the day, as well as space for overnight boarding. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and with more than 20 years of experience fostering and looking after cats, including my three former foster cats, I would be happy to use this time to help other families feel confident that their cats are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they are away. I enjoy getting to know each cat’s personality and routine, and my calm, patient nature helps me provide a peaceful environment, especially for shy, nervous, or less-social cats. I live alone and have a separate spare room where your cat can have a quiet, private space to settle in and feel safe\. I’m able to provide lots of one\-on\-one attention, companionship, and play throughout their stay\. If introductions to my resident cats are appropriate, they’re done slowly, patiently, and always supervised, following each cat’s comfort level and body language\. There’s never any pressure to interact—your cat’s comfort and happiness come first\! I also have the flexibility to provide overnight care in your home when needed, so your cat can stay in the comfort of their own familiar environment\.

About: I am a responsible and well-experienced pet caregiver who would treat your fur baby like they were my own. I have had animals in my life since childhood, including cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, horses, chickens, ducks, rodents...you name it, I have probably had it! For dogs, I am available for walks, hikes, in-home sitting, overnight boarding, training, feeding, medication administration, belly rubs, nail trims, and playing fetch and/or other games for stimulation and enrichment. I am confident with all sizes and breeds of dogs. For cats, I am available for drop-in visits, in-home sitting, overnight boarding, feeding, administering medications, nail trims, and providing snuggles. I will also care for reptiles, birds & farm animals of all kinds (just not in my home of course, haha). Most recently I had a cat and a dog, both of whom I said goodbye to earlier in 2026 - so now I looking to fulfill my love for animals by caring for others' babies. Please reach out if you think it may be a good fit! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I am easily able to schedule my day around your pet's needs. I am also easily able to bring my work with me, so I can house-sit / pet-sit at your home if that is the preference. There is a beautiful pond and park with walking trails within 200m of my home. I have an outdoor enclosed patio to provide a safe outdoor space for animals (and me!). I also live within walking distance to Knox Mountain where I frequently go for longer hikes (5-10km). I work from home and am a home-body, so your pet would almost always have company, with minimal time alone. I am willing to follow your pet's home routine as closely as possible, and am able to crate your pet when I do leave them alone, if that is your preference.

About: As a social work student, I believe all behaviour is a form of communication, regardless of species. Therefore, I have an absolute, unconditional love for all animals, and have been a pet owner my entire life. After a 3 year hiatus, I am back on rover! I have a few years of formal experience, though have been providing dog walking, house/pet sitting, and feeding/bathing help for my neighbors and friends for a combined total of 20 years. I am a diverse provider, in that I take care of all types of animals, with specialization in reactive/anxious animals! I have been told I have a patient, calming, reassuring, and playful energy, which can help both initial meetings and ongoing interactions. I have also had experience with other animals, such as cats, rodents, birds, and more! If you have any questions regarding my services, availability, or my experience, shoot me a message any time, and I will respond as soon as possible! I treat my pets like family, and always try to snuggle, pet, and play with my animals as much as I can. I care for any animal as I would my own. Within your home, I am able to bathe, walk, train, play with, and accommodate any special requests or needs of your pet. Within the community, I ensure that walking locations are extremely safe and secure, taking into account the dog's sensitivities, i.e. other dogs, children, etc. while also making sure that the owner is satisfied with the walk. This may mean a walk could include some playtime, jogging, socialization, and any other needs you may have. Currently, I am in school from 11-5 Mondays and Thursdays, though am flexible otherwise and am always willing to accommodate! Unfortunately I don’t have space in my home, but I am more than willing to take care of your pets in yours! Within the community, I ensure that walking locations are extremely safe and secure, taking into account a pup’s sensitivities, i.e. other dogs, children, etc. while also making sure that the owner is satisfied with the walk. This may mean a walk could include some playtime, jogging, socialization, and any other needs you may have. Regarding the home, I always leave your home the way I found it, and always follow your instructions precisely. Safety, trust, and respect, are three components that I take very seriously when looking after any animal, therefore if I have any questions, I always reach out, as I feel that there should always be an open dialogue between myself and the owner!

“Erik is fantastic, he took the best care of our home and boy, and we could not be more pleased with his service. Everything in our home was gleaming, and our boy was calm and satisfied when we arrived home which told us so much. Thank you Erik for everything. We cannot recommend you highly enough to the entire Rover community. Truly deserving of every single star in this 5 star review.”

About: We had a beautiful Golden Retriever 2013-2025 who went everywhere with me and was never left alone. I loved being with him, caring for him and other friends pets, walking, brushing, veterinary drop offs and collections as well as caring for elderly dogs too. I love all dogs. Will be with the dogs all day in my home and we have beautiful trails right at our doorstep for quick walks or longer hikes. Happy to be slower if dogs are older or small or longer if they have lots of energy. I work from home so pets would never be left alone, I have set up my work to fit in with caring for our own pet as a priority. Have looked after our own dog and walked 4-5 times daily with shorter potty breaks and longer excercise trips for 12 years. I have no fenced yard but have a provincial park and walking trails directly at my door so walking is never a problem. My own golden retriever will go outside for a variety of mini walks and a longer walk daily or we can take the car to other parks if requested.

“Mckenna did an amazing job taking care of both my cats! She was great at updating me with photos and left my house spotless. Would definitely recommend :)”

About: I have 8 years of pet sitting experience with many different animals. I have grown up around many different animals my whole life and have a pup of my own. I will also frequently take care of family and friends dogs and cats. I will do my absolute best to make sure your dogs get the attention, exercise and needs they require! I look forward to meeting and caring for your pups! :) I am at home full time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets and attend to their daily needs! I am a student so I attend various classes but they are all done online and from the comfort of my own home. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and have made sure my house is a very pet friendly environment provided with lots of entertainment, water and food bowls around the house. There are many dedicated spaces if the pups (or cats) need some space or if they just want to relax in private. There are no spots that are off limits for the pups so they have lots of room to play and explore! :) our place has a chill and relaxed vibe to it so your dogs can be comfortable and feel like it’s a safe home away from home.

“Eva was fantastic! She took such good care of our home, our dog and two cats while we were away. We have an Australian Shepherd that needs lots of exercise and Eva took her on so many great hikes! She was sure to send us lots of picture updates of all the animals which we appreciated. They all looked so happy and content with her. The house was clean and my flower pots in great condition when we got home . We felt our animals were in very good hands and will definitely be booking her again when the time comes. If you need a responsible, caring and active pet sitter, Eva is your lady!”

Bronte M.

“Toni was awesome! She responded right away and made sure my dogs were well looked after while I was away. She sent pictures and updates without me having to ask and my dogs seemed to be very happy and tired when I got home, which was so good to see. I would highly recommend Toni if you’re looking for a trusting dog sitter so your mind can be at ease while you’re away. Will definitely book with Toni again!!”

About: I am an active & very mobile lady who can offer various types of walks from leisurely to high energy, rain or shine. On leash is preferred but for well trained dogs I will consider off leash. Pick up and drop offs are available for one hour walks. Your dog/s should be dog friendly but if not then I will work with you so your fur baby can have the best experience possible. I can administer medication. As a responsible, skilled, current small dog owner, and former two large dogs & cat mom, your animals will be treated with lots of compassion and love. I will text or email pictures, videos and memos to keep you updated every step of the way. House sitting available.

About: I have a 6 year old pup. Been pet sitting for over 8 years now. I just love doggos and wanna make some extra cash :) I work Tuesday, Thursday afternoons and all day Saturdays so that makes me available for Rover on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I walk my dog everyday so I can bring him along if your dog likes the company :) I treat dogs with patience and kindness. I like to go on long walks on nice days and take pups to the dog park. Cuddly and playful dogs are my fav :)

About: I’ve owned dogs all my life and am fortunate to now have a small Pomeranian girl who is VERY sociable. She gets along with any dog and would be present if your dog is staying at my house. I love dogs and would provide the best care for them wether just a walk or pet sitting. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention, exercise and companionship they need. I genuinely love spending time with animals and am happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, playtime and pet sitting throughout the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I will always follow your usual routine, feeding instructions and any specific care needs you provide. I’m attentive, responsible and will treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

About: I have several years of hands on experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, including puppies, high-energy breeds, and senior animals with special needs. What sets me apart is my patient and intuitive approach I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and routine to make them feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’ve helped with leash training, basic obedience, and administering medications to older pets. Whether it’s energetic playtime, gentle walks, or quiet companionship, I adapt my care to suit your pet’s needs. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for your pets. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or quality playtime, I’ll make sure your pup gets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced yard. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, supervised environment where pets feel safe, and loved.

“Lindsey was absolutely fantastic. I felt so at ease leaving Buddy (my 8 year old cocker spaniel) with her. She was super organised and her communication was excellent. She sent updates and pictures at the end of everyday and put Buddy’s needs first. Our home was super clean and tidy when we arrived home. I would 100% have Lindsey to sit Buddy in the future and would not hesitate to recommend her to take care of your pets and home.”

About: I grew up around dogs and over the years have been a reliable dog-sitter/walker for friends and family. I have fostered dogs and was a foster-fail (meaning we adopted) with my dog Juno who is featured in most of my pictures. I have learned so many skills from fostering and raising Juno. I keep Juno quite structured in her day to day because she thrives off that being a working breed, with lots of down time and snuggles. I am respectful of how each owner operates and will follow instructions diligently. I recently moved to Kelowna from Ontario for school. I am a social worker back home and currently doing my MSW at UBCO. My schedule is quite flexible, I’m available Friday-Tuesday anytime and Wednesdays and Thursdays I only have morning availability. I currently do not have any pets in my home, I am doing long distance from both my partner and my dog Juno. When I am interacting with pets in my home or their home I am respectful of their space and needs, and provide structure as needed.
